Int32.Parse(“356882”) generate exception System.FormatException: 'Input string was not in a correct format.'

Question

I am trying to parse a string in c# but I am getting a format exception, the code I am using is:

int test;
test =Int32.Parse("356882");

I don't get why this generates an error, 356882 is an integer within the boundaries of an int32.

Any idea?

Cheers

Vincent

Answer 1

356882 is an integer

Yes, it would be an integer. "356882" is an integer.

But this is not what you are parsing. Yor string is:

"356882"

There is a hidden fist character. I copy pasted it from your text - my right key hangs one press. That hidden character is blocking parsing.

Now sure how it ends up there - copy/paste and what editor?
